<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve had a weird experience the last couple of weeks – I’ve been driving home while it’s still sunny outside.\u00a0 It’s discerning to say the least.\u00a0 A confluence of factors has brought this about.\u00a0 For one thing, summer’s finally rolling around and June\u00a0Gloom is\u00a0finally wearing off.\u00a0 I realize that\u00a0Californians, at least those not living in the fog-filled depths of San Francisco and Berkeley, are horribly spoiled when it comes to weather.\u00a0 If it’s not 100% perfect 100% of the time, I feel perfectly justified in complaining<\/a> (after all, there has to be a reason a\u00a0one bedroom\u00a0condo can cost close to $1 million dollars around here, right?).\u00a0\u00a0The second reason is that there’s a brief respite at work.\u00a0 Rather than staying\u00a0until ten every night and working weekends, I have a perfectly balanced workload with a manageable amount of work to keep me busy for a reasonable amount of time during the day.\u00a0 So of course, instead of working at a reasonable pace, I’m doing nothing, billing nothing, creating a deficit of hours, and consequently\u00a0using up my “vacation” time on Coffee Bean runs and chit chat.\u00a0 What’s wrong with me?!<\/p>\n

And just so this post isn’t completely about me whining, this play<\/a> sounds interesting.\u00a0 It might dovetail nicely into this book<\/a> that I’ve been reading forever now.\u00a0 I think if I stop starting other books in between chapters of it, I might finish it sometime soon.\u00a0 Oh, and I recently received one of those emails filled with pictures of adorable, fluffy, baby animals, complete with a saccharine message about friendship.\u00a0 I’d\u00a0post it here, but (a) I don’t know how, (b) I’m afraid it’ll ruin my reputation as a hard-nosed pragmatist, and (c) I didn’t want to overwhelm anyone with that much cuteness without adequate warning.\u00a0 =)\u00a0 Let me know if you want a copy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
